SBSS Freedom Girl Silver Bullion Round with Gold Tone Forming

These SBSS Freedom Girl Silver Bullion Rounds have started to form gold toning .. this is very good news as i was anticipating dreaded milk spots, you will see the Slave Queens have developed some milk spots early on.

I have now formed a hypothesis that what we are all calling milk spots, may be just be one type of stage one "toning" where as you can see the milk spots have gone gold in colour and are no longer undesirable.

Hard to see how these will end up but a complete gold toning is what i am hoping for.. i shall keep you posted!
